[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  My mother and sister are obsessed with getting invited to our cousins. All mom and sister do it gossip afterwards about who got fat, who's kid is no longer on the fancy career path or didn't get into a top college, who seems depressed, who's kid has a fat or anorexic looking significant other and which married couples seem to not be getting along. They certainly aren't perfect themselves. [b]Sister had a bitter divorce, her own weight issue (which makes her obsession with how fat people are all the more strange) and difficult relationship with her kids and mom is estranged from my brother due to things she has done.[/b] Even better, when they report to me who is fat, unaccomplished, not getting along, etc and I tell them I prefer not to hear these things, they accuse me of not caring about family?! Anyone else have family [b]obsessed with feeling superior to other members of family all in the name of being a "close knit."[/b][/quote]

Aaaaaand....this is proof positive that hurt people hurt people.

Good on you for not only noticing, but acknowledging, OP - breaking the cycle, and aspiring for bigger and better in your life. [/quote]
